A Week Later

The life of the famous social worker Mrs. Prerna Chatterjee has been changed. She couldn’t face the people now. Her daughter in-laws have been arrested. They have fake degrees and they didn’t work anywhere. They are not a graduate but they have completed only school education. The journalist got suspicious about them during the press conference. Secret operation has been carried out by a group of journalist and they got enough evidence against them. So they have taken this issue to the police department. They have been arrested for giving bribe to get the fake degrees. Unfortunately Mrs. Prerna couldn’t find this truth before her sons got married to the twin sisters.
